7 Ways You Can Buy CRO Coin In Singapore

Last updated on November 18th, 2021

The CRO coin is the native token of the entire Crypto.com ecosystem.

If you believe that Crypto.com will be a significant player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, you may want to buy into their token.

You can do so directly on the Crypto.com app. However, it is also possible to buy CRO from another cryptocurrency too!

How to buy CRO coin in Singapore

Here are 7 ways you can buy CRO in Singapore:

1. FTX
2. Crypto.com (Credit / Debit card)
3. Crypto.com (Xfers)
4. Huobi
5. KuCoin
6. Bittrex
7. OKEx

This is a summary of all the methods:

Platform	Directly From SGD?	Trading Fee
FTX	No	Up to 0.07%
Crypto.com (Credit / Debit Card)	Yes	3.5%
Crypto.com (Xfers)	Yes	None (but may have large spread)
Huobi	No	Up to 0.2%
KuCoin	No	Up to 0.1%
Bittrex	No	Up to 0.35%
OKEx	No	Up to 0.1%

and here is each method explained in-depth:

FTX

FTX is a cryptocurrency trading platform that is based in California.

They offer one of the cheapest fees when it comes to trading crypto!

Here’s what you need to buy CRO on FTX:

1. Deposit USD to FTX
2. Select the CRO/USD trading pair on FTX
3. Enter the details of your order

#1 Deposit USD to FTX

While FTX supports SGD, there are no SGD trading pairs with cryptocurrency on the platform. FTX only offers a CRO trading pair with USD. As such, the best way would be to deposit USD on the platform.

You can read my guide on depositing fiat currencies from Singapore to FTX to find out more about how you can deposit USD to FTX.

#2 Select the CRO/USD trading pair on FTX

Once you’ve deposited USD, you can start to trade it for CRO.

You’ll need to go to the hamburger icon on the left-hand side of FTX’s platform,

and then search for ‘CRO‘ under Spot.

Futures are a rather complicated product, and you should only be trading in futures if you understand it well!

#3 Enter the details of your order

You can make 7 different orders on FTX:

1. Limit
2. Market
3. Stop market
4. Stop limit
5. Trailing stop
6. Take profit
7. Take profit limit

After selecting your order type, you’ll need to:

1. Select the amount of USD you want to buy 1 CRO at
2. Select the amount of CRO you want to buy

Once your order has been processed, CRO will be credited into your account.

Verdict

FTX charges up to 0.07% (for taker fees) on their platform. This is one of the cheapest fees that you’ll be able to receive for Spot trading!

Due to its rather low fees, FTX can be a platform that you can consider if you want to reduce your costs.

Crypto.com (Credit / Debit card)

Crypto.com allows you to buy crypto directly from your credit or debit card.

Even though it is the most convenient method, you may be charged high fees.

How to buy CRO on Crypto.com with a credit / debit card

Here’s what you need to do to buy CRO on Crypto.com with a credit or debit card:

1. Go to Crypto Wallet
2. Click on ‘Buy CRO’
3. Select a debit or credit card to make the purchase

#1 Go to Crypto Wallet

You’ll need to access your crypto wallet on the Crypto.com app.

This can be done by tapping on the central icon and going to ‘Crypto Wallet‘.

CRO should be one of the first few currencies that appear on the list.

After that, you can tap on ‘CRO’.

#2 Tap on ‘Buy CRO’

You will be on the CRO price page. You’ll need to tap on ‘Buy CRO‘ to make the trade.

#3 Select a debit or credit card to make the purchase

After that, you’ll need to select a credit card or debit card to make your purchase.

Once the transaction has been approved, CRO will be credited into your CRO wallet.

Verdict

Buying crypto using a credit or debit card can be very expensive, and Crypto.com is no exception.

You will be charged a 3.5% fee when buying from Singapore!

Furthermore, you are unable to choose the price of CRO that you wish to buy at. You will be buying at Crypto.com’s prevailing market price, which may be higher or lower than the actual price.

As such, it is not really cost effective to buy crypto using a credit card.

Crypto.com (Xfers)

Crypto.com also has Xfers support, which means that you can actually buy crypto directly from SGD!

How to buy CRO on Crypto.com with Xfers

Here’s what you need to do to buy CRO on Crypto.com using Xfers:

1. Connect your Xfers wallet to Crypto.com
2. Go to Crypto Wallet
3. Click on ‘Buy CRO’
4. Select ‘Fiat Wallet’
5. Select the amount of CRO you wish to buy

#1 Connect your Xfers wallet to Crypto.com

To start using Xfers on Crypto.com, you’ll need to connect your Xfers wallet.

This can be done by going to the Settings menu at the top left hand corner,

and then tapping on ‘Xfers Account‘.

From there, you can link your Xfers account to Crypto.com.

#2 Go to Crypto Wallet

You’ll need to access your crypto wallet on the Crypto.com app.

This can be done by tapping on the central icon and going to ‘Crypto Wallet‘.

CRO should be one of the first few currencies that appear on the list.

After that, you can tap on ‘CRO’.

#3 Tap on ‘Buy CRO’

You will be on the CRO price page. You’ll need to tap on ‘Buy CRO‘ to make the trade.

#4 Select ‘Fiat Wallet’

You’ll need to select ‘Fiat Wallet’ at the Buy menu, which is at the top right corner.

#5 Select the amount of CRO you wish to buy

After that, you’ll need to select the amount of CRO that you wish to buy.

Once you confirm the trade, CRO will be credited into your wallet.

Verdict

Crypto.com does not charge any fees when trading crypto on their app.

However, you can’t decide the price that you are buying CRO at. This is based on Crypto.com’s prevailing market price.

This may be higher or lower than the actual market price.

This method is very simple if you don’t want to trade crypto, and just want to buy it instantly.

However, the difference between the actual market price and Crypto.com’s price may be quite high!

The remaining exchanges do not support SGD

For the next few methods, they do not allow you to deposit SGD into their exchanges.

This means that you’ll have to buy a cryptocurrency from one exchange, and then send it to these exchanges.

The currency that you should buy is Bitcoin or Ethereum, which would have the most number of trading pairs.

However, you’ll need to consider the withdrawal fees that you’ll incur when sending your crypto on the blockchain.

Depending on the fees, it can be really hefty!

You can consider using Gemini’s Active Trader, which charges a rather low 0.35% trading fee. You are able to purchase either BTC or ETH from Gemini.

After that, you can send your BTC or ETH to any of the exchanges below. You will not be charged any withdrawal fees for up to 10 withdrawals per month.

Huobi

Huobi is another crypto exchange that allows you to trade a variety of cryptocurrencies.

Since they do not allow you to deposit SGD onto their platform, you’ll need to deposit another cryptocurrency into the exchange first.

Here’s what you’ll need to do to buy CRO on Huobi:

1. Deposit USDT or BTC into Huobi
2. Select a trading pair with CRO
3. Select the type of order you wish to make
4. Select the quantity of CRO you wish to buy

#1 Deposit a cryptocurrency into Huobi

First, you’ll need to go to ‘Balances → Exchange Account‘.

This is where you will deposit your crypto to.

You can choose a wider variety of cryptocurrencies to deposit into Huobi, compared to Binance.

Huobi has trading pairs with USDT and BTC. As such, you should deposit either of these currencies!

#2 Select a trading pair with CRO

After depositing your crypto, you can start trading it.

If you just want to trade your crypto, you can go to ‘Spot Trading → Exchange‘.

You’ll be brought to the exchange platform, which can be rather overwhelming.

You’ll need to search for CRO trading pairs, which can be done at the left hand side of the platform.

#3 Select the type of order you wish to make

After you’ve selected your trading pair, you would need to select the order type that you wish to make:

1. Limit
2. Market
3. Stop-Limit
4. Trigger Order

Limit orders allow you to determine the price you wish to buy or sell your crypto. Meanwhile, market orders will buy your crypto at the prevailing market rate.

#4 Select the quantity of CRO you wish to buy

After you’ve selected your order, you’ll need to select the amount of CRO you wish to buy.

Once the trade has been executed, CRO will be credited into your account.

Verdict

Here are the fees that you’ll incur when trading with Huobi:

Type of Fee	Fee Amount
Trading Fees	From 0.20%
Withdrawal Fees	Depends on currency

Huobi has a slightly higher trading fee compared to other platforms. As such, you may want to consider those platforms first.

KuCoin

KuCoin is another exchange that you can use to buy CRO. However, you will need to transfer a cryptocurrency from another platform first.

This is because KuCoin does not support any fiat currencies!

How to buy CRO on KuCoin

Here’s what you need to do to buy CRO on KuCoin:

1. Send your crypto to the KuCoin Main Account
2. Transfer your crypto to the Trading Account
3. Find a suitable trading pair
4. Select the price and quantity to buy CRO

#1 Send your crypto to the KuCoin Main Account

KuCoin does not support any fiat currencies. To fund your KuCoin account, you will need to send a cryptocurrency from another platform.

KuCoin only supports 2 trading pairs with CRO: CRO/USDT and CRO/BTC.

As such, you will need to deposit either BTC or USDT into your KuCoin account!

To deposit either coin into KuCoin, you will need to go to ‘Deposit‘.

You can use the dropdown menu to select either BTC or USDT.

From there, you will be given a deposit address to send your crypto to.

If you are copying the address manually, you may want to double check that it is the correct address!

#2 Transfer your crypto to the Trading Account

When you deposit your BTC or USDT into your KuCoin account, it will be transferred to your Main Account.

If you wish to trade your BTC to CRO, you will need to transfer it to your Trading Account.

#3 Find a suitable trading pair

After you’ve transferred your crypto to your Trading Account, you can go to KuCoin’s Spot Exchange.

The exchange may seem to be rather overwhelming.

You will need to go to the top left hand corner to select a CRO trading pair.

#4 Select the price and quantity to buy CRO

After you’ve selected your CRO trading pair, you can proceed to make the order.

KuCoin allows you to make 4 different orders:

2. Market
3. Stop Limit
4. Stop Market

The last 2 things you’ll need to do is to:

1. Select the price of USDT or BTC that you’d like to buy 1 CRO at
2. The amount of CRO that you wish to buy

When your trade is completed, CRO will be credited into your account.

Verdict

Here are the fees that you’ll incur when buying and sending CRO on KuCoin:

Fee	Amount
Trading Fees	Up to 0.1%
CRO Withdrawal Fee	200 CRO

KuCoin charges the lowest fees, so this should be the platform you can consider to reduce the costs of trading.

Bittrex

Bittrex was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in the USA.

They are one of the few exchanges that allows you to buy CRO on their platform.

Furthermore, they have the highest trading volume among all the other exchanges!

Here’s what you need to do to buy CRO on Bittrex:

2. Go to the ‘Markets’ tab and search for CRO
3. Enter the details of your trade

Verdict

Here are the fees that you’ll incur when trading on Bittrex:

Fee	Amount
Trading Fees	Up to 0.35%
CRO Withdrawal Fee	0.01 CRO

Bittrex has a rather high trading fee. As such, this platform should not be your first choice if you are looking to buy CRO.

OKEx

OKEx is another crypto exchange that you can consider buying CRO coin from.

Here’s how you can buy CRO on OKEx:

1. Deposit USDT or BTC into OKEx
2. Select a trading pair with CRO
3. Enter the details of your trade
4. Execute the trade

#1 Deposit USDT or BTC into OKEx

OKEx offers a CRO trading pair with either USDT or BTC.

As such, you should only be depositing either of these currencies into OKEx!

You’ll need to go to ‘Assets → Deposit‘,

and then select USDT or BTC as the currency you wish to deposit.

There are 4 different USDT networks that you can deposit your USDT into OKEx:

1. USDT-TRC20
2. USDT-ERC20
3. USDT-ALGO
4. USDT-OKExChain

Usually, most of your USDT should be ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. It’ll be good if you double check which network your USDT is on.

If you send your USDT to the wrong address, it will be lost forever!

You can buy USDT from your credit card, but the fees may be expensive

Another way that you can buy USDT or BTC on OKEx is by using a credit card.

You’ll need to choose an external payment provider.

The fees that you incur may vary between these payment providers.

While it is more convenient, the amount of fees that you pay may be quite high!

#2 Select a trading pair with CRO

Once you have BTC or USDT in your OKEx account, you can start trading CRO.

You’ll need to go to ‘Trade → Basic Trading‘,

which brings you to OKEx’s trading platform.

You will need to select the CRO/USDT or CRO/BTC trading pair from the search bar.

#3 Enter the details of your trade

You are able to make 5 different types of orders you can make on OKEx:

1. Limit
2. Market
3. Stop
4. Trigger
5. Advanced Limit

You’ll also need to enter:

Verdict

OKEx charges up to 0.1% for their trading fees.

This is slightly cheaper compared to Huobi!

You can consider using either OKEx or KuCoin, since they charge lower trading fees compared to the other platforms.

Conclusion

If you are looking to buy CRO directly from SGD, the Crypto.com App would be the best way to do so.

However, if you want to buy CRO from another cryptocurrency, you can consider either FTX, KuCoin or OKEx as they have the lowest fees.
